- Decision(s) FOI 10: Upheld, FOI 31(1)(g): Not upheld
The complainant has requested information relating to the merger of two schools.
The Charity Commission of England and Wales (the “Charity Commission”) disclosed some information to the complainant but relied on section 31(1)(g) by virtue of subsection 2(c)(f) and (g) of FOIA to withhold some of the information.
The Commissioner’s decision is that the Charity Commission was entitled to refuse to comply with the request in accordance with section 31(1)(g) by virtue of subsection 2(c),(f) and (g).
The Commissioner considers that the Charity Commission has breached section 10(1) of FOIA as it did not provide all of the non-exempt information that it held within the statutory time limit.
The Commissioner does not require further steps.
